Tulsa Public Schools delays release of state audit on COVID relief funds usage by two weeks.

Tulsa Public Schools (TPS) has delayed the release of a state audit by invoking a rarely used state law, which requires a two-week waiting period before publishing findings. The audit was requested by Governor Kevin Stitt in 2022 over concerns about the district's use of federal COVID relief funds and potential violations of state law. State Auditor Cindy Byrd says the audit is complete and contains significant findings. TPS claims they have cooperated with the audit and are working to improve practices. The full report is expected to be released in two weeks.
